Qualities of IT professionals

In my opinion IT professionals should be:

Adaptable and ready to learn

IT has never been the same since its beginning and will never be the same again. People should not get stuck in time because work is continuously being done to make IT better than it has ever been. What worked 20 years ago may still work today, but there may be better solutions to solve similar problems. But this doesn't mean that newer tools are always automatically better.

Ready to ask for help when needed

Not a single person is capable of knowing everything. When something is unknown, then IT professional shouldn't be afraid to ask for help. But the request for help shouldn't be before doing any research. I constantly see duplicate threads online without any clear description in them. It's as if the person writing them didn't even think for a second.

Skills of IT professionals

What IT professionals should know in my opinion:

* Knows many programming and scripting languages

* Knows many Operating Systems and hardware

* Understands networking

* Knows many different numeral systems

Education of IT professionals

Many IT jobs in Estonia either a degree or prior work experience. They prefer candidates with a Bachelors degree, however they are sometimes willing to accept people with vocational education or even without any education at all. When it comes to work experience, they usually prefer between 2 to 5 years of experience.

My personal opinion

I believe that a degree does not instantly mean a person is capable of doing his job. Before becoming a professional in the field, the person needs to experience real work and after working for some time, then he can be called a professional.

Online censorship and privacy

Online censorship in Estonia I didn't know this, but Estonia has already been blocking gambling websites that have not been approved by EMTA (Maksu- ja Tolliamet) since 2010, with over 1700 domains now on the list Because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Estonia has now begun censoring Russian TV channels and websites. I never expected Estonia to do something like this. I oppose the war and believe it should be ended as soon as possible, but I also despise the idea of censorship. This act of censorship, in my opinion, is unacceptable and may mark the beginning of a period in which filtering content that is not supported by the government is acceptable. We could end up like China, where people have no free will and are only permitted to think what the government wants people to think. Mozilla Firefox and privacy Firefox always advertises itself as being privacy-protective, but this is not the case by default. Firefox makes a lot of background connections by default, which reveal

Ten commandments from Netiquette

Know where you are in cyberspace This, in my opinion, is the biggest problem on the internet. The internet is made up of many different people, not just one. Individuals are unaware that there are various communities with various types of people and hobbies. There are places for smart people to act stupid and places for stupid people to act smart. Every single one of such places has their own unwritten rules and joining them takes time. As the saying goes: "Lurk more - it's never enough"     My experience I usually see people on the internet saying that places I visit are terrible because someone called them stupid or whatever. It's very common to call people out when they make mistakes or have opposing opinions here, but it's an issue for visitors from other places. They are accustomed to downvoting posts with which they disagree, resulting in a hivemind of like-minded people. Comments they agree with are displayed above, while those they disagree with are not se

Hackers and hacker culture

People are divided into two categories. Those who are hackers and those who aren't. What the news media did to hacker culture in the 1980s is sad. The majority of journalists and politicians at the time lacked technological knowledge and misinterpreted the term "hacking." As a result, everyone now believes that hacking means breaking into computers. Previously, hacking meant learning systems inside out. It meant knowing where things were and what they did. Now it means breaking into computers with the purpose of compromising devices. The hackers at the time tried to differentiate from such people by calling them "crackers", but as we can see today, it didn't succeed and they are still being called hackers. I love hacker culture. The culture is driven by passion rather than money. People can do whatever they want with their devices. The only limitation is one's own creativity. They also advocate for free speech and decentralization. Unfortunately, their f
